Velociteach was a great way to prep, I did it all in a little more than a month. Don't read pmbok just keep taking practice exams

Spent about 3 weeks prepping and it was overkill. You can pass the test with just common sense and knowing the Agile guide in and out. 20% of questions are interpersonal and the answers are basically "complain to their manager," "do nothing," or "try to work it out with them directly" and it's always the last one. Another 50-60% is agile.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
